Living Street / Woonerf

STR-LSW-006 Local

Living Street / Woonerf

A Local street with no separation between the pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle space. Vehicles are guests, moving at walking pace and yielding to people on foot or bike by design, not by signage alone.

Typical at: Compact Urban Core

Suburban is an edge case. Undeveloped and Rural are unlikely pairings.

Pedestrian, then Bicycle, then Vehicle (as guest), then Transit, then Freight.

#Design notes

NACTO's Home Zone is, strictly, an area-wide overlay rather than a distinct street type of its own, but the Commonway System folds it into this single entry rather than tracking it separately, since the on-the-ground design treatment is the same shared, no-separation street.
